rilE DUTIES OF LADY’S MAID.
Does any one know how many cos
metics are sold in London? We do
iot, but we have reckoned more than
wo hundred and fifty soaps alone.
We b lieve that we should have no
difficulty iu making up iu the total
cosmetic regimeut to five or six hun
dred.
And will the ladies believe us
when we tell them, upon our honours
and .veracities, that not one of the
•whole of this preposterous collection
(excepting one or two- p rnicious
mineral compounds) is of the slight
est possible use; of any more use,
that is, than simple soap or water.
No, certainly, they will not. Never
will woman believe any thing when
h.er vanity is engaged on the other
side.
Nothing, however, is more true.
With except ions scarcely worth notic
„,,t vrnu-lh rwilir.injT for our
purpose, every soap, every soap at
least used on the person, is the same
substjince, the same chemical com
pound, with the same precise effects
on the skin; the only difference among
them being those to the eye and to
the smell; colour, form, and perfume.
These colours and perfumes cost
money, as they ought; but as to their
fancy prices, beyond th ir real value,
this is a matter of conscience on the
one hand, and folly on the other. It is
indifferent whether the soap be made
from vegetable oil or animal tallow;
for, in the state of soap, all oils are
equal. All soaps are equqjly cos
metic, be the name, be the smell, the
price, the colour, what they may;
liquid or solid, virgin’s milk, milk of
roses, Bandana, or jesniinc.
Cleanliness is the true cosmetic;
and it is th- cosmetic, or the cleani
her; nothing more. You cannot al
ter the colour of your skins, for na
ture has placed her laws here against
you, but you may scrub and scour
oft th d;ri, which we strongly advise
you to do whenever it is necessary.
Thus you will be cleaned and cos
rneiiied ; and having done this, it*is
no matter to you h w soon'Messrs.
Hailey and Blew are blown up or
blown down.
Wash your faces, dears; that is
all; and if water will not make'them
dean, use soap, and choose the ©ne
that gratifies your nose most ; that is
all. As soon as the dirt is off you
arc as beautiful, precisely, as nature
—and your sweet tempers—choose:
and all else is hopeless toil; hopeless
as bleaching a blackamoor, though
you were to labor on all th milks
and soap that have been created
from the days of Judith or Faustina,
down to those ofDei Croix
These are sad vulgar truths ; yet,
alas !no less true. The thing is im
possible; be content : and as you can
as little add one tint to your complex
ion as one inch to your statures, with
out paint or without high heels, do
what you can to apply the cosmetics
to your minds—as you have been oi
ten tol.l how. That is the true art
of beauty. A gentle soul and a
sweet t mper. intellect and virtue,
these are the comestics which will
take out all yflur frecki Is and smooth
all your wrinkles, which will render
ou beautiful e ven above your beauty,
and beautiful even through your plain
ness.
Most seriously is this all fact, as to
every soap, as to every.cosmetic in
this class. With respect to the rest,
there is but one simple principle ;
with respect at least, to those in com
mon use. Almond paste meal may
be taken as standing for the whol of
these, and they are hut oils. The
natural oil of the skin is removed by
soap; and t his process is neces
sary whenever foreign matter, soot
is no comestic like warm water—
warm, hot not cold.
But. to remove this natural oil too
effectually or too often, is sometimes
injurious, as it is this which renders
the skin soft; while there are some
persons in whffm, naturally, it is
deficient. Here, the extieme use
of soap is injurious, and oil becomes
necessary. It is a cosmetic, however,
incapable of changing or bettering
th colour of the skin. All that it
can do is, t& prevent harshness, and,
of course, when this extreme, pro
ducing scaling, it diminishes or re
moves that tendency
Such is the us of oily substances;
and they are ail equal whether it be
almonds or pomatums, or aught
else. Os the propriety or utility of
their application, it must he for the
owner of the skin to judge’; as with
the principles already laid down, he
may judge of all other cosmetics,
instead of using them merely from
their names, and without being
aw ire of their pecular action. Bui
there is one other u,se in the oils, of
which the cosmetic mongers are
ignorant, and which it is our duty to
the lovely sexto detail, hoping that
they will profit more, maids and all,
by our commentary than by the gen
tleman’s seven s tiling hook. The
previous application of them entirely
prevents the action of the sun o the
skin, in as far at least as that pro
duces blistering, and is also very
conducive to the prevention of frec
kles and sun-burning.—Hence, ladies
when you attend reviews, or go on the
water, in boats, or pick cockle-shells
on Margate sands, we advise you to
oil your sweet laces, or put on your
almond pastes, instead of waiting
till the mischief is done, when the
cure, though it is still a sort of cure,
comes somewhat too late.
Pimples. —lt is all, generally at
least, but a minor degree of that
dangerous and often fatal eruption,
[pimples] which proceeds rom drink
ing cold water when heated, and
which has so often been the "cause
of death to boys at cricket and to
soldiers on a march. Balls and ices,
! ’<vU ~n r i first a waltz,
and then a giass of cold water, coin
lemonade, or cold ice, such is the
cause, though the icc is the least
pernicious of the whole, because it
requires some time to swallow, and
cannot therefore make the sudden
impression on the stomach which a
cold fluid quickly swallowed does.
If you cannot restrain your love ol
dancing, dear ladies, learn at least
to restrain your appetites. It is not
pretty to be gobbling ice, and swil
ling lemonade at every moment, as
it you came, to use the vulgar phrase,
for the sake of what you can get, as
il you were not allowed ices by youi
papas and mammas, and were re
solved to make up for it,like Dioge
nes at your entertainer’s expence.
Look at us, dears, we are not always
gormandizing at balls, pushing for
the b st places at supper, greasing
ourselvej in* contests for dirty chick
ens, plaguing our neighoburs to gel
us this and the other, as if we came
lor the purpose of eating and drink
ing. Indeed, dears, you are not pret
ty-behaved, at all; and you cannot
conceive what unhappy impressions
you make on us, and on your lovers.
You have lost many a lover by your
cruel appetites; upon our honour-,'
we assure you it is true: and many
a good settlement, moreover.—Posi
tively you have lost settlements—
settlements —think of that.
Western Steam Boats. The people
on the western waters have arrived
at a degree of perfection in the con
struction of steam boats, entirely
beyond what could have been con
templated on the first introduction
ofithem on those rivers From tUi'
Cincinnati Emporium we learn, that
the steam boat Philadelphia, recem
ly built there, measures nearly 400
tons, is of a handsome model, and her
engiue the most powerful one in the
United States. She has seven hol
lers, with every convenience for
safety and expedition ; is lot) led
long on deck, Forty feet wide, ha
a cabin GO feet long and 30 wide,
with single and family or double
state rooms, with tapestry, cushions,
and elegancies, with conveniences
such as says the Emporium, “ we
have never noticed before in any
boat, either iu Europe or America.
Under the large and splendid cabin
is a superb ladies’ cabin, richly lur
nished, and possessing those accom
modations which contribute so much
to the comfort of ladies when trav
tiiug for health or pleasure, On
the deck, are 84 double births, ma
king lodgings for IGB persons, beside
which, there are many state rooms
with two births in each, with every
other appendage, essential for the
comfort of those whose limited mean

This boat is owned *n Cincinnati

RAIL ROAD.
It affords us great pleasure to an
nounce that the bill to incorporate
the Mohawk and Hudson Rail Road
Company, has passed the third read
ing in the Senate, and only awaits
the signature of the Governor to be
come a'iaw. From the known char
acter and high standing of those who
have embarked in this project there
is no necessity to assure the public,
that it will be prosecuted with vigor
and he speedily carried Into effect.
The Rail Roads is to extend from
this city to Schenectady ; and from
the Immense pressure of business on
the canal between these two points,
there cannot be a doubt but that it
will be of great public utility, and
produce a profitable income to the
stockholders. Id addition to all o
ther considerations, it is a source of
no little pride to us, that in New-
York the first attempt is to be made
toward internal improvement hv this
means as well as by canals.

!Bbe Was Dim? at JNI-.w Albany,
•s rigged and otherwise fitted out as
a sea vessel ? Twenty years ago, and
even less, the idea of building a sea
vessel in that remote section of the
union would have been received as
the airy dreams ofa bewildered fan
cy—yet, the enterprize ofthe Amer
ican character, under the happy in
fluence of our republican institutions
presents us at (his day with the
stubborn fact, and leaves the ima
gination completely at a loss to cal
culate the pfobable state of improve
ment in Ihis country, in half a cen
,ury from this period.
Protection. The ship Cayne is off
the coast of Brazil—the sloop Bos
ton has just sailed to join her—the

frigate will be speedily despatched,
th whole under the command of
capt. Biddlq, ior the protection oj the
commerce of the United States, in con
sequence ofthe war between Brazil
and Buenos Ayres.
This squadron will cost the peo
ple oi the United States several hun

n»r the encouragement and protec
tion of every other branch of the na
tional industry, “ tariff and all:” but
no one objects so it; and the mer
cnants and ship owners, in respect
to this matter, do not say “ let us a
lone. ” How great is the difference
netween mine and thine ! How right
and proper is it that money vested
in ships and labor employed in navi
gating them, should be protected,
and tiow oppressive is it that capital
vested in nulls and persons subsis
ted by their labor m them, should be
encouraged ! It is. constitutional to
ucieud property at the cannon's
mouth, on the high seas—but uncon
stitutional to protect property oj> the
land within our own limits! Fisher
men too may have bounties and pre
miums—but farmers and wool grow
ers, spinners and weavers, may not
receive either.— Aile’s Jieg.
The Ban rupt Bill. —The frieuds
of‘his measure will b cheered by
the decision in the Senate yesterday.
After what was said on this occasion,
it is fair to presume, that the large
vote against the indelimte postpone
ment of he bill, indicates a decided
majority in the Senate in favor of a
general Bankrupt Law. With such
a disposition evinced in that body,
we do not despair of seeing the sys
tem yet matured and consummated
during the present session.
The late rule adopted in the Sen
ate, oil the motion of Mr. Benton, ol
devoting tin three first Hours ol
each day to business, (deferring the
debateabic subjectsto the afternoon,)
and w ill continue so greatly to facili
tate the transaction of business, that
want of time, will, in a degree, cease
to be urged for the postponement of
important subjects. The* furth r
change, suggested by Mr. Benton
yesterday, iu the rules of proceed
ing in the Senate, has been found so
advantageous, during an experience
of several years past, in the House
ol Representatives, that we are some
w’hat surprised it has not been earlier
suggested in the Senate.
The House of Representatives has
disagreed, by a large majority, to the
Senate’s amendment to the Judiciary
BUI. Whether either of the two
bodies will yit!£ ft, point, aud, if
either, which of them, are questions
that com.ot be answered w ith confi
dence ; but we incline to the opinion,
that th hill will not be lost by the
adherence of each House to the
ground it has -taken Some change
is so imperiously required, that it
will probably be found, in the end,
to be the opinion of a majority in
both Houses, that no change ofthe
system can well be for the worse.
Nat. Int.
From the National Journal.
Few- occurrences have transpired
if any since the formation of this Gov
ernment, which looked, in our ap
proach to them, 10 he so full of fear
ful, or at least of embarrassing conse
quences. as those which had connex
ion with the rec -qt Creek controversy
and which is now so happily adjusted.
The Executive had, it must be con
fessed, a delicate and highly respon
sible task to execute ; and a task
the execution of which required b th
wisdom and firmness, and without
the exercise of both, the most em
barrassi g consequences must hav
followed. The public tranquilit-,
to say the least of it. was certainly
menaced at home ; 'whilst those o
other countries and of other kind'
of governments, looked to the occur
renc , and hailed it as a symptom of
our approaching dissolution. To;
m et such a crisis, and to pass it as
has been done, is alike demonstra
tive of the firmness of our republi
- lob, ~, -jnd ofthe wisdom of the
Executive to whom the administra
tion of our government is entrus
ted. W are out of the controversy
unhurt, and in a way highly hon
orable to the government ;and which
is no less gratifying to the friends of
harmony at home, than to the advo
cates of liberty and republican gov
ernment all over the world-
Whilst the Executive is entitled
to the thanks an lasting gratitude of
the country, for its proceedings m
this very delicate and responsible
controversy, it js especially due to
ttie Secratary of Y\ r ar, on whoirf,
from his official relation to the sub
ject, the burden of it ro.-ted, as did
t o negotiations which led to its set
tlement, to award to him a large
share of the praise which is due on
so happy a termination of it; and al
though others may have contributed
their aid in effecting this result, they
have moved merely in co-operation
with the views of ttie Secratary, and
in accordance with his advice.

LITTLE TURTLE TO THE DELAWARES.
Brothers. —Listen—The spirit ot
a warriour speaks.—He calls on you
to hear. Let his voice remain—lt
is the voice of truth. Listen. Our
father over the big water told us he
would take care of hi© r and children.
We believed him, and he deceived
us. Ho sent us his red coats, and
they gave us fire to drink. The
red men drank the fire. It made.Us
women, and we forgot the war-hoop
and lost our path iu the forest. We
could n \er after follow the trail of
the enemy. The Whiteskins came
and gave us more fire to drink. We
smoked with the Whiteskins, and
drank their fire. They drove away
the deer and the buffalo, and then
wanted our lands. We gave them
our hunting grounds, and retired to
our wigwams; but the whiteskins
wanted our w igwams, and would not
let us live in peace. The chief of
the red coats promised to protect
us and our lands. We raised the
war-hoop upon the whiteskins ; but
we were women, and could not tight
their longknives. The red coats
came to assist us, and we smoked
with the red coats, They went out
to fight the longknives of the white
skins, and were beat n—They run
away and left us—We saw no more
01 the red coats. The whiteskins
took away our lands, and wo follow
ed the deer and the buffalo.
Brothert. — List n— Washington

father, lie was a good man.—lie

and the huflalo, and w wore happy.
The council fire was kindled, but
the war song was not heard.—We
hunted the deer and the buffalo, and
left us, we hung our heads—He was
<1 good man.
Brothers —Listen—The chief of
the whiteskins is your father, and
not the chief of the red coats.—
Blackbreeches is not your father, for
he is not the chief of the whiteskins
He is*a spy of our old father over
the big w atcr, and knows nothing of
the red men. The warrior who com
manded the big-months and killed
the rcu coats, at Orleans, is the chief
ofthe whiteskins and your father.—
He is the friend of both white and
red men and never smoked with the
re<J coats.
Brothers —Listen—The men at
the big house over, the mountains,
have cheated the whiteskins of their
chief-—You have no great father
at Washington. The council fire
has been kindled, but the chief of
the whiteskins is not there. Black
breeches is not the chief of the
whiteskins. The yqftow piec sos
t he red coats have Me blackbreech
es a chief, but he is not your la
ther.
' Brothers —Listen—The men at
the big house over the mountains,
want your lands. Blackbreeches
will send white men to you, with the
yellow pieces of the red coats, to
buy your lands; but do not touch
the yellow pieces of the red coats.—
They will make your young men wo
men and your women idle. Do not
trust the men at the big house.
They will cheat you of your lands,
as - they cheated the whiteskins of
their chief.—The men at the big
house are not friends ofthe red men.
Blackbreeches is not the friei and of
the red men—He is not your father
—He is the friend of the red coats.
Brothers —Listen—The warrior of
the big-mouths, who slew the red
roats at Orleans, is your father.
He is the chief of the whiteskins,
and will soon be at the big-house
aver the mountains. He is the friend
ofthe red men, and will not deceive
you. His talk is truth ; and he w ill
pr tect you in your lands, and will
not let the whiteskins cheat you.
His path is straight.
CREEK TREATY.
Department OF War, i
Jan. 25, 182 G. \
Sir —ln execution of the power
which you conferred upon me to ne
gotiate with the Creek tribe of In
dians, represented in this city by their
principal chiefs, clothed with full
powers, by the nation fully assem
bled m council and, if possible to
obtain such ail arrangement as would
j ut an end to the Serious difficulties
growing out of the treaty of the In
dian Springs, ot February last, 1 pro
ceeded immediately on receiving your
instructions to that effect, to convene
the delegation in this office, believ
ing that a less restrained intercoms
oi views would thereby be effected,
than in a written correspondence,
and the result more propitious to
your wishes. From information pre
viously received from Gen. Gaines,
it was believed tjiat their acquie
scence in the treaty negotiated at'
tW^lndian Springs, was utterly unat
tainable. But that their consent to
the relinquishment of their lands,
within the state of Georgia, might
be effected on reasonable terms. To
that end, after perceiving the entire
inutility of pressing them to an ac
quiescence m the treaty of the In
dian Springs, I directed my efforts,
confidently anticipating, from the iiT
forrration above r ferred to, imme
diate success To tny surprise, and
certainly, very much to my regret,
icciing as 1 did, the utmost anxiety
that such an arrangement should be
made, and k owing that nothing
could bo more acceptable to your
self, 1 found them determined to sur-
render their lands only to the east ol
(Jhatahoochie. Evc/y effort was
made, which propriety would per
mit, to induce them to meet your
wishes. Lest, from ignorance of
their character, I should fail in ap
proaching them in some way acces
sible to one familiar with their mo
tives of action, 1 jivailed myself of the
aid of a disinterested citizen, whose
intercourse with the inhabitants ol
the forests, gave him the desired
qualifications; and if success had
been attainable, lie must have suc
ceeded. He entered into my views
with alacrity, and pursued the object
with a patience and assiduity which
has entitled him to my thanks. Ev
ery, effort, however, was fruitless.
The Chatahoochie, as forming a na
tural boundary, was a sine qua non.
Indeed,sucha boundary seemed with
them of more consequence than the
land which was involved in the con
test. —Thyv coiltmually urged, that
an artificial line was no security with
the untutored Indian against those
trespasses which the conterminous
whites perpetrated upon them. And
candor has forced the acknowledge

in their solicitude for a natural lioufT
dart. Finding them pertianacious
in adhering to this line, which, is es
tablished, would still leave a small
portion of land within the limits ot
Georgia, to gratify whose wishes, if.
practicable, had been a leading mo
tive with you in whatever connected
itself with the subject, 1 had deter
mined to put an end to the negotia
tion. In reflecting, however, on the
posture of things, in that event, and
% t he consequences w hich might ensue,
and believing that an amicable ar
rangement of this controversy- was
alike called for -by the wishes ot
American People, and the interests ot
those unfortunate Peopl«, I proposed
to them, after having obtained your
consent, a line of compromise, and
finally agreed to that which is insert
ed in the trqptv, which 1 herewith
enclose ; and which according to the
map on which I treated, will have
acquired for Georgia some four or
five hundred thousand acres of land
YVest of the Chatahoocliie, and with
the lands on the E ast side ot the
Chatuhoochic, making, it is believed
nearly three millions of acres, which
Georgia acquires by the treaty ; and
i leaving within the limits of Georgia,
a small fraction of land, belonging to
the Creeks, not equal, perhaps, to
one-tenth ofthe part coded. In ar
ranging the details, great difficulty
occurred. I found tlie delegation
invincibly opposed to taking any land
to the west of the Mississippi. In
consequence, the pecuniary consid
eration was obliged to be increased,
to an amount, however, comparative
ly small in respect to the land which
must have been given according to
the scale heretofore adopted, aero
for acre. To the intrinsic difficulty
arising from the negotiation, others,
of no small magnitude, were added.
The Delegation ofthe major part of
the Creek nation peremptorily refus
eq to enter into a treaty in common
with the Delegation ofthe minor,or
Mclntosh Party. To provide for
ttie latter, on liberal principles, was
an indispensable condition from which
nothing would have justifi and me in
departing. To obviate this dificul
ty, 1 ascertained from each party
what would be satisfactory, and in
corporated the whole in the treaty
which was to be signed exclusively
by the Delegation of t|ie majority.
The treaty was prepared on these
data, and signed by the Delegation
of the major party. Out of abun
dant caution, 1 designed to obtain the
signature of the Delegation of the
minor party to a papef to accompa
ny the treaty, expressing their entire
satisfaction with the arrangement-
After the treaty had been executed,
and intimation made to the minor
party of the above wish, they de
clined complying therewith, unless a
new provision should be made in
th> ir favor, namely, that of the value
of their improvements within the
territory retained by the Indians,,
which, being unreasonable, was re
fused. This, however, has no bear
ing on the validity of the treaty.
Their number, according to a census
taken by Gen. Gancs, is very small,
not above one fortieth of the nation.
They themselves stated the number
it sixteen hundred, at the opening
ofthe conferrence with them. They
suppose now that ftiree thousand
may be induced to enug. .te. What
ever the number may be, there is n©
difficulty in saying, that the treaty
lias bccifmadc w it present a
tivesofa vast nation;
and I think, on refcisnSUo the con
ditions ofthe treaty, it will be four!cl
ihat ample justice has been done the
smaller party.
Respectfully submitted.

THE CREEK INDIANS.
Saturday, April 22.
In Senate, Mr. Berrien submitted
a resolution, to in>truct the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs to report a
bill to make provision for the further
relief of the *on and other followers
of the late chieftain YVYlliam Mcln
tosh, and to provide fqr their emi
gration west of the Mississippi.
[The resolution went much into
detail, directing what items should
be mbraced by the bill—how much
money, ho*w much of all the articles
requisite for the emigrating party,
how it should be ascertained who of
them were willing to emigrate, &c.]
Mr. Branch moved to lay the reso
lution on the table, as thfe hour had
arrived for the consideration of the
special orders of the day; but with
drew bis motion at the request of
Mr. Berrien, who said, if it was con

must be avoided; he believed lie
